Need help with Month over month calculation

[ashwinkolte]

I have input dataset like this :

Item	Sub Item	Month	Cost
Item 1	Subitem 1	30-Jun-23	200
Item 1	Subitem 2	30-Jun-23	300
Item 1	Subitem 1	31-May-23	400
Item 1	Subitem 2	31-May-23	600
Item 2	Subitem 1	31-May-23	500

I want to caculate Month over month cost saving  i.e June month cost - May month cost for the various items and subitems .

Require a matrix outout like this -

Item	Sub Item	30-Jun-23	31-May-23	Cost Saving
Item 1	Subitem 1	200	400	-200
Item 1	Subitem 2	300	600	-300
Item 2	Subitem 1	-	500	-500
	Total row	500	1500	-1000

I

The challenge I am facing is this .. If you see the Item 2 in the input data ,  It does NOT have any record (i.e cost)  for June month . There is May cost which is 500 . In this case I want June cost to be considered zero and cost saving calculated as (0-500) = -500 and the above matrix to be created with proper totals 

In other words it is as good as inserting below row in input data 

Item 2

Subitem 1

30-Jun-23

Hi @ashwinkolte ,

Please reference the table in powerquery.

Select the month column and pivot.

add a custom column.

create a new table visual.

Hi @Anonymous 

The table in question is a calculated table . Hence cannot edit in power query . Also please note that the real life data would contain many months and not just june and may
